ORDER
(Per
: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. S.J. MUKHOPADHAYA)
This
writ petition has been preferred by the petitioner for a direction on
the respondents to hold election of Municipal Corporations,
Municipalities, District and Taluka Panchayats on the basis of the
revised electoral roll. Further prayer has been made to restrain
the respondents from introducing e-voting system for the election of
Municipal Corporation, Municipalities, District and Taluka
Panchayats.
Learned
counsel appearing on behalf of the State submits that election in
most of the Municipal Corporations, Municipalities, District and
Taluka Panchayats have been completed and thereby prayer to that
extent has become infructuous. So far as e-voting is concerned, a
separate Public Interest Litigation, being SCA No. 1127/10 has been
filed and the matter is pending, and it can be looked into the said
case. He submitted that in Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation also,
voting has been conducted.
In
the aforesaid background, we are not inclined to pass any further
order in the present case. The writ petition stands disposed of.
